I feel ya. For me the eye opening moment was the full scale invasion of Ukraine. I grew up with the ideas of the unprecedented era of peace and human rights as a given hammered into my head, so I made it a moral duty to follow the war semi daily once it escalated. I live only one country over, so we’re next on putin’s campaign. And yet half the people here feel just fine with this arrangement. Our lackluster response, our bickering over the smallest things while this future defining horror show unfolds at our doorstep, it’s all quite sad.

Anyways, since then I’ve been doing my best to understand people, to go out of my way and educate my self on what people are going through. I still have a lot to learn, but I refuse to stay ignorant, because it only leads to more pain.

Yea… Tho I’d argue that’s true of most jobs nowadays. Nothing, or somehow less than. Joining the work force has been a very depressing experience so far. Any ambition of learning and or contributing getting annihilated. It’s a compromise that allows me to have a roof and food at the end of the month without living at my parents.

To think that just a couple years ago we thought Ukraine had no fight in it, but today they are showing us how to do it. How the tables have turned.

Similarly it also grinds my gears when I ask an enum question but they return a bool. I gave multiple options and “yes” was not one of them.
